- hornetblack 13y agoWindows 8 seems to have magical printer support. My printer was just there, I could print... no anything required. It seemed to install the drivers as soon as it saw it on the network. (Apparently this isn't so nice if the computer reboots when trying to install drivers magically)

More important than that (for me) is "it should be Unix-like and I should have easy access to a typical Unix toolchain." My experience is that for the last 5 years OS X and Windows are in roughly the same ballpark in terms of how much I have to think about non-software issues, although Windows is better in that dimension, as you say. Linux is not really in the same ballpark, or at best it's way out in the nosebleed section.
